Biography


Qari Helmat was born in Uzbekistan and is sometimes said to be the son of Tohir Yoʻldosh, founder of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
Hekmat had long been a Taliban commander in Jowzjan Province and was their shadow governor for Darzab District.
In Nov 2015, he allegedly accused a woman of adultery and intended to stone her to death, but was prevented. This incident led to him being expelled by the Taliban for "cruel activities".
In October 2016 he joined the Islamic State and commanded at least 200 armed men. He soon moved into Qush Tepa District, defeating local Taliban.
In 2017 the governor of Sar-e-Pul province said Hekmat was increasing recruitment there.
